Looks an awful lot like a Kalita.
Bamboo-based paper filters "require no prewetting and impart no paper-y aftertaste." Hm.

I just saw that myself. Be very interested to hear from any HBers that have used it in person.

Amazingly, the filters are even more expensive than the Kalita Wave filters. Of course, they are made out of bamboo, but 30 filters for $5 is a bit steep.

Kalita (wavy top), meet Melitta (one-hole bottom).
The $25 price of the dripper seemed reasonable, but then the filters - whoah, twice the price of V60 filters!
Fellowproducts' new Stagg dripper seems better, albeit even more expensive ($59 for the dripper), and with similar filter prices ($8 for 50 filters).
Both drippers seem to be aimed at reducing/eliminating the need for a pouring pitcher/kettle and associated technique.
Nel drip, anyone?

Oh Goodie yet another pour over dripper which requires it's own proprietary filter.
Reminds me of the notNeutrul Gino dripper. http://www.notneutral.com/coffee/gino-c ... ipper.html

Made by Kyuemon for Blue Bottle. I really like my Kyuemon Gamma as far as ceramics quality goes, a lot nicer than my ceramic v60.

The Gino is pretty much a Wave clone and takes the same filters. Not sure who makes the notNeutral branded ones.redbone wrote:Oh Goodie yet another pour over dripper which requires it's own proprietary filter.

In recent days, I had Finca Kilimanjaro and Kenya Embu Gikirima pourovers at two different Blue Bottle cafes. Both were sensationally delicious with clear, defined, luscious flavors and no harshness or off flavors of any sort; not only great coffees, but idyllic extractions. Now I'm wondering if they were brewed with the new dripper or the old Bonmacs they've used for a long time. I'll have to go there later this week and find out.
You'd think they (and especially Stagg) would sell the drippers cheap to rope people into buying the expensive filters repeatedly.

I thought $25 was a decent price for a dripper, but $5/month for filters seems a bit steep. If I pay attention, I can get 200 #2 or #4 filters at Ralphs between $5 and $8.maigre wrote:You'd think they (and especially Stagg) would sell the drippers cheap to rope people into buying the expensive filters repeatedly.
